<250ydsCEP targeting and "dial-a-yield" warheads. Because it really is better to have your cake and eat it too.
If the theories are right, the super fuze can get the CEP a lot smaller than that. The US has basically created the technology to do a successful first strike on either Russia or china. the big deterrent in the old days was that some of our warheads would miss. Now they wont miss and we only need to worry about duds, which is countered by firing more weapons. which we can easily do now that NEW START has expired and the US is no longer constrained by law to only 1,550 deployed weapons. the USAF and Navy can quickly up load another 2 or 3,000 warheads on currently deployed missiles by re-mounting their MIRV vehicles.
 
somehow I don’t think other nation’s nuclear submarines would be public knowledge.
The ocean is big and sonar isn't a secret. Much like with radar and figuring out that Russia's stealth planes aren't stealthy, chad sonar enjoyers can figure out the shadow of a submarine. Russia uses it's shit for propaganda so everyone knows it's not as good since we've been seeing it, and more importantly hearing it, consistently for decades. Same with every other nation worth a damn. Again, only China is kinda iffy but considering it's China, they can produce subs sure, but the quality is chinese quality. Same as their aircraft carrier (considerably more important to their expansionist goals) being shitty. Japan is pretty adept at chasing them down so that says something.

Also nuclear doesn't really factor into this. A stealth submarine is judged off of it's stealth, not it's powerpack. Nuclear trades reach against the quiet of pure battery. It doesn't even matter if diesel-electric is cheaper or nuclear submarines are the big-dicked wonders of the world, the appropriate physics and basic ideas don't change. We know the general material they're soundproofed with, we know their size, shape, and propellers, and there's plenty of nerds who've done the math and figured out that their video games are overstating Redfor submarines and understating American subs for balance.

Submarine tl;dr 2 diesel-electric boogaloo: I'm not being hyperbolic or chanting USA to say that the US is not balanced and set the standard insanely high.
 
Love that movie.
Tarantino from start to KB, some of the best ever. Fell off after but into not that bad zone even then. Res Dogs, PF, Jackie Brown are the peak. Kill Bill 1/2 still better than most, but.. Not up there. Even since kinda just.. Good to just ok. He's supposed to have 1 more left, we'll see. Taking his time.

RD is up there with Taxi Driver and Goodfellas on intense crime movies.

IDK about the capabilities of subs build by the Russian Federation, but some of the late soviet submarines were very capable boats, almost the equal of ours. they just couldn't maintain them or build and crew enough of them.
 
>Digital ID legislation is making its way through Congress right now (KIDS Act)
>The Supreme Court ruled just over a week ago that all 8 billion people on the planet are legal American citizens
>Tyler Robinson is going to walk, and Charlie Kirk and anyone who has ever supported him will remain a laughingstock for the rest of time
>The war with Iran is being restarted

America has never been in a more dire state in its entire history. Reminder that empires typically last around 250 years.
 
The payday 2 heist version of this was fucking great.
I love my 5906 from that Res Dogs. Back then when I saw I was like damn, this is nasty. But then I realized this is 'Tarantino-verse'. It's not real, it's a comic-universe set in this worse so I lightened up,. Anyone that hasn't seen those 90s Taran movies, do so asap :P

And RIP Michael Madsen, one of the best actors from War Games until KB2. Gone too early.

this isent related to anything but this is a real story and anytime I hear about other nations build nuclear subs I think of this story

India spent just shy of 3 billion to build their first nuclear submarine and on its first sea trial someone forgot to close a hatch a flooded the entire inside with salt water and ratfucked the entire thing

Iran is a superpower and you're nothing but a lackey for the Zionist terrorist Epstein pirate army of Trump!
It's morbid how many people believe that
One of the most offensive things about Platner is that he's from an extremely rich family but still has 100% VA disability and collects 200k a year from the taxpayer.

What an asshole.
He was not in the military long enough for 100%. The fact he got it is fucking disgusting. There are people that put in the full thirty years, break their fucking backs for Uncle Sam for a third of their lives, and they don't get 100%.

Propeller shape is literally one of the most classified things of a submarine, to the point that even American subs always have their propellers hidden when they’re pulled out of the water. You really think the Russians don’t have a propeller shape we don’t know about that they use when being sneaky sneaky?

Let me backtrack a little.

You are taking publicly available information at face value and refusing to even consider the fact that publicly available information may be inaccurate or propaganda. It’s almost like you can’t even conceive of the notion that military secrets are secret and not on Google. Reality isn’t like a capeshit movie or a book where you get spoon fed all the relevant facts.

I’m not saying for certain that Russia has super secret submarines hanging off the coast of Washington DC waiting for the go signal. For all we know Russia’s entire fleet has rotten away and what we think we hear are just fishing boats towing subwoofers around. But to be absolutely convinced you know the full details of what is considered classified information by literally everyone is asinine.

Unironically how have you not roped yet
If you actually believe all this shit and haven't killed yourself yet I can only conclude you're actually hoping to be eternally raped by Grok by order of La Presidente for life AOC
You're not dooming, you're wishcasting

The issue when it comes to anything built by commies is that they can have wonderful, advanced blueprints...but completely fail to actually make those blueprints work. Russian tanks being well designed but badly produce shitboxes for example. This is why we kinda have to look at real world examples and data, what little we can, versus paper. On paper the Chinese Master Dragon of Fucking Up White People is godlike and supreme, unfortunately they can't make shit precise enough to make it work half as well as expected. Meanwhile the Ohios and Virginias are such known quantities and between the assholes in congress and the assholes in the Pentagon we know pretty decently the level of quality that goes into things, which is pretty high across the board. It's why issues are such a big deal for us, it's surprisingly rare enough to become a big blow to the US military's ego. Meanwhile Russia has two black eyes, a broken arm, and is still trying to fight people while DUI-ing a wheelchair, China disappears anyone who can even think of saying anything negative about their military industrial little-man-complex. Iran and North Korea exist-well, Iran used to exist.

Actually can we talk about how literally nobody saw our submarine that was right fucking there? In one of the most observed places in the world? Again, the US is fucking spooky.

Platner still hasn't signed the papers yet to withdrawal. :lol:
This is another chip away against establishment democrats and their process. You can expect more socialists to steamroll the old guard dems. This has been simmering for 10 years since Sanders, now its reached a boil.
 
Do you hate the fact that you can walk outside and get a breath of fresh air without the police potentially using AI to charge you with crimes you didn't commit? Well hate no more thanks to Flock and your local police department. Thanks to generous government contracts, you too can have your entire life upended at the hands of a terminally lazy shit pig looking to make his arrest quota for the month.
The good news in this case is that she won (rather, the state finally wised up and dropped the charges), and she's suing them to hold them to account for this insult.

On the other hand, that conversation went on much longer than it ever should have. "Good morning, officer!" "Yeah I have some paperwork for you and I'd just like to say..." "I'll take the paperwork, now go fuck yourself. I'll see you in court" should have been the end of it.

Then again, it was probably pretty satisfying getting all his smarmy gloating on camera and it was probably worth it to her to waste her time listening so she could broadcast his fat smug ass for the world to see, too.

But when they come to your door to pull this shit, don't give them the time of day. Take what they've brought to serve you, and shut the door in their face. If they want to lecture you first before handing you the paperwork, just interrupt them, tell them to send it certified instead, then shut the door in their face. It's not hard to find a copy yourself (or for your attorney to find it) once you know they're attempting (and failing) service.
